Two local comedians have seen the demand for a comedy club and have decided to capitalize on the need. They are going to open up their own club called The Comedy Fort. This will be the first comedy club opened in Fort Collins since 1991. Together David Rodriguez and Patrick Lowrie III are aiming to give The Comedy Fort an intimate community feel for the 150 seat basement location they are rumored to be looking at. They want their club to be a ‘home club’ where people can have an attachment to as opposed to going to different bars and trying to catch changing shows.

The task ahead of them is going to cost an estimated $600,000 and the two have started an Indiegogo campaign to help raise some of the money. To date the campaign has raised $10,240. A mix of investors and business loans will help the two built the club. The purpose of the campaign is to help alleviate long term costs. The two are off to the races and have already partnered with eateries and breweries to supply guests with a genuine taste of Fort Collins. In the end, they hope that The Comedy Fort will help give Fort Collins a reputation for comedy on its own.
